Bu Bu Jing Xin Picked Up for Broadcast in Korea on CineOn TV Starting Early October

Wow, that was fast! Bu Bu Jing Xin has officially been picked up for broadcast in Korea, on a network called CineOn TV (click here to see the landing homepage). I don’t think it’s a cable network, but likely an international station that shows a variety of programming. If a decade ago Princess Returning Pearl can be a smash hit across Asia, I won’t be surprised to see BBJX fever starting to spread very soon.Once it hits Taiwan and Hong Kong for broadcast, it’ll take off from there, if it hasn’t already.

CineOn TV produced an official MV for the Korean broadcast set to the theme song “Three Inches of Heaven”. Click below to watch. Normally all the K-dramas are subbed in Chinese, so it’ll be a treat to see a C-drama subbed in Korea. I think BBJX is simply a larger-scope sageuk with a very heady love triangle. Hopefully the Korean viewers will like it. BBJX will air in Korea at 10 p.m. starting on October 5, 2011.

  • I love most of the scenes chosen in the MV, but I'm not feeling the MV very much because the video don't sync w/ the songs in beat/melody *shrug* But I'm glad/happy/excited by this news

  • I wonder if Korean audience are receptive to other kind of "sageuks"? I know they sure do love theirs...but I wonder if this might appeal to them.

    • I think they might be. It has this very regal feel and the plot isn't bad... So much drama one girl so many guys fighting over her. Love triangles, plot for the throne. Plus a girl that goes back in time isn't something that is done in their segeuk. so I think they'll like it.
      My question is will this be dubbed or given subtitles.

    • I think that korean audience might like it... they love sageuks and love complicated romance... thought the story is different.. but BBJX gave me the vibe of The princess's man.. it's tragic love story and PM is having great rating... I understand it's being shown in a cable network so probably not as many viewers will tune it.. but I am not doubt for those like this tape of story and sageuks will love BBJX... wish BBJX lots of luck.. and personally love it.

  • Wow a C-drama being boardcast in Korea. This is the first time i've heard of this.
    I wasn't going to watch this raw or dubbed in Cantonese but now that Korea is boardcasting this.... i might give it a shot.

    • "Princess returning pearl" was broadcast in Korea, it was so popular it reached over50% ratings and the network shifted the remaining episodes to a much later time slot so it wouldnt be so popular. Restrictions on cdramas were pretty tough after that.

      • That's kinda sad. But for a network pov i can see why they might do that. in that case i guess this drama will air pretty well.

      • Wonder where you people read such asinine urban legends. And why you believe them.

        还珠格格 did score similar ratings... in China.
        Show was broadcast in Korea on the now defunct iTV channel (Incheon TV, which should give you a hint to the fact it was a regional channel). Average ratings? Under 7%. No foreign drama on Korean TV has ever surpassed the 20%, let alone 50%. And even then, they were all American series in the 80s, like Dallas and The Six Million Dollar Man.

      • I dunno about the actual ratings, but I do know they changed the times slot to a pretty late time while it was still airing. I know cause I was living in Korea at the time.

        But then again, did they really score 50% in China? I find that impossible considering the population, the highest rating ever recorded in China is like 10% regional for any drama.... I know they say over 50% on Wikipedia for HZGG, but that's not a reliable source of information...

      • You're thinking network (a few Hu Mei historical dramas like Han Wu Da Di actually scored close to 20%, but I haven't been checking ratings as of late so I don't know if that's still the highest). The high ratings are from cable, Beijing Cable TV, which back then measured ratings regionally. And the 54% (regional) average is well documented by sources with a lot more credibility than Wikipedia.

        The urban legend is about the government pressuring channels to limit the popularity of foreign dramas by moving their broadcast to a later timeslot. It's complete BS.

  • is it going to be shown here in US. too? i mean there is a KBC or KBS channel something on cable that show korean pop, drama, shows etc. Comcast Channel 369 i think. everyday they allot 30 minutes for Kdrama every afternoon and evening. i do not watch it there though, only internet. But if BBJX will be shown here on cable on said channel I will not mind waiting and watching for 30 minutes every day :-)

    • This drama most likely will not air on the korean channel here in the US because the US has their own chinese channel. Since it did soo well in China it most likely will be boardcast on chinese channel's like CCTV. I believe dramas on the chinese channel are boardcast for 1 hr.
      If you live in the US and are near a chinatown keep an eye out for the drama because you can most likely find it for rent or purchase later during the year.

    • If they do air BBJX it will most likely be on a Chinese channel. I live in the SF Bay area and the local Chinese channel KTSF is airing the first episode of "Gong" tonight. It's only a matter of time before they start airing BBJX since it's so popular.

  • is princess returning pearl, gong and jade palace gold heart all the same CDrama?

    I was curious about Palace Lock Heart I decided to check it out. Unfortunately, after being indoctrinated with BBJX, PLH is nothing compared to BBJX. Stopped watching it after episode 1. Sorry my loyalty is with BBJX all the way! Cheers!

    • I didn't know about BBJX at first so i kinda like JPLH but Qing Chuan's personality got annoying...I don't mind playful, but that girl does not think before she does things...such as the part she trick 8th prince into thinking she poison him...even though it's a joke, she would have been beheaded for it...I know it's fantasy, but they gotta put some reality in it to make it good...i love how tong hua weave Rouxi's fate with everyone...setting her up to be one of the main reasons for the 9 prince battle...such a bittersweet tale that will be remember for a long, long time...

    • Princess Returning Pearl is one drama, Gong / Jade Palace Gold Heart is another ("gong" refers to the "palace" in the title).

  • i feel this video didnt do the show justice. It has far more tension, and rhythm? idk, the video felt so random.
